Getting started guide
1. Introduction
Welcome to the is::Engine v3.1 game engine user guide. The purpose of this guide is to detail how the API works. This
is not a tutorial even if there is an example that shows you how to use the engine to create a game.
2. About the engine
is::Engine is a tool that relies on the mechanisms of the SFML library to work. So if you want to use this tool it is
strongly advised to know at least the basics of SFML. The objective of this engine is to offer you features that allow you
to create a game with the most flexibility possible and to easily carry it on various platforms (Web-HTML, Windows,
Linux, Android).
The engine is directly delivered with an IDE to avoid reconfigurations and to start quickly with this one. Note that each
IDE with which the engine is delivered makes it possible to carry your project on a target platform. So the Android
Studio project lets you use the engine to develop on Android.
The header which gives access to the engine is: isEngine/core/GameEngine.h.
3. Engine structure
3.1 app_src
Directory that contains the source code of the game.
Description of these subdirectories:
activity: Contains the Activity class (click here for more information: 1) which launches the different scenes
of the game and ensures their interactions.
config: Contains the GameConfig.cpp file (click here for more information: 1) which allows you to define the
general parameters of the game. It also contains the file ExtraConfig.h which allows to activate / deactivate the
IS_ENGINE_RENDER Macro wich allows the optimization of the game, it also allows to launch scenes
automatically (if it is activated you can no longer use the SWOOSH library).
gamesystem_ext: Contains a class derived (click here for more information: 1) from GameSystem (click
here for more information: 1) which allows you to manipulate the game data (save, load, etc.).
language: Contains the GameLanguage.cpp file (click here for more information: 1) which allows you to
manage everything related to the languages of the game.

levels: Contains the levels and the Level.h file (click here for more information: 1) which allows you to
integrate them into the game.
objects: Contains the objects that will be used in the different scenes.
scenes: Contains the different scenes of the game (click here for more information: 1) (Introduction, Main
menu, ...).
3.2 isEngine
Directory that contains the source code of the game engine.
3.3 assets
Directory of game resource files (music, sound effects, images ...).
3.4 main.cpp file
This file contains the function which allows to launch the program.
3.4.1 main
int main()
Source Code
The main function that launches the game engine. Inside you will find GameEngine game; which initializes the game
engine.
Return 0 when the program is finished and another value if there is an error during execution.

development.
Example:
Create a sentence:
static std::string hello_world[] = { "Hello World !", "Salut le monde !" }; // To put in GameLanguage.h
Use: (This is a simple example just to explain the principle to you. To go further, please refer to the Engine
Demo)
gameSystemExt.m_gameLanguage = is::lang::GameLanguage::ENGLISH; // Choice of English language
is::showLog(is::lang::hello_world[gameSystemExt.m_gameLanguage]); // we will have in the console: Hello World !
gameSystemExt.m_gameLanguage = is::lang::GameLanguage::FRANCAIS; // Choice of French language
is::showLog(is::lang::hello_world[gameSystemExt.m_gameLanguage]); // we will have in the console: Salut le monde
!"
Game Dialog Box
1. class GameDialog
class GameDialog;
109
Header : app_src/objects/widgets/GameDialog.h
Source Code
Class that allows you to display dialog boxes like in RPG games. It is closely related to the language part of the game
(click here for more information: 1). To be able to display a dialog you must define a string array representing this
dialog in GameLanguage.h
2. Elements of GameDialog
2.1 GameDialog
GameDialog(sf::Texture &tex, sf::Font &fnt, is::GameDisplay *scene)
Source Code
Constructor of the class, it takes as a parameter texture, font and the scene in which it is used.
2.2 enum DialogIndex
enum DialogIndex
{
DIALOG_NONE = -1,
DIALOG_PLAYER_MOVE, // Represents the dialog that talks about how to move the player
/* … */
};
Source Code
Represents the different dialogs that will be displayed in the game. The information that is defined inside is linked to
the language part of the game.
Each time an index is added we must declare its string array in GameLanguage.h.
Example:
DIALOG_PLAYER_MOVE dialog declaration in GameLanguage.h :
static std::wstring dialog_player_move[] = {L"Press LEFT or RIGHT to move.\n"
"Press A to Jump.",
L"Appuie sur GAUCHE ou DROITE pour te déplacer.\n"
"Appuie sur A pour sauter."};
2.3 linkArrayToEnum
void linkArrayToEnum()
Source Code
Connect the string array found in GameLanguage.h and the dialogue index.
Example:
Link an Index and its string array: (This is a simple example just to explain the principle to you. To go
further, please refer to the Engine Demo)
110
void linkArrayToEnum()
{
// …
switch (m_dialogIndex)
{
case DIALOG_PLAYER_MOVE: // dialogue index
m_msgIndexMax = is::arraySize(is::lang::dialog_player_move); // Determines the number of sentences
checkMsg(is::lang::dialog_player_move); // Define the dialogue thanks to its string array
break;
// …

Game Example
1. Introduction
In this part of the document we will find out how to use the functions of is::Engine 2.0 to create a mini game. Note that
this is just a short tutorial to get you started with the engine.
We are going to create an arcade game in which we control a Helicopter whose goal is to avoid obstacles and collect
bonus items that increase time of the chronometer and its score. If the level clock reaches zero (0), it loses the game.
The game will be playable on Android and PC.
You can access the project here.
2. How the game will be created?
2.1 Here are the elements of the engine that the game will use
- GameDisplay class to create scenes
- MainObject class and these parents to create game play objects (Player, HUD, Bonus, etc.)
- GameKeyData class to control the player
- GameDialog class to display the tutorial
- GameLangague.h to add sentences to translate
- Some functions found in GameFunction.h
- Activity class to launch the different scenes and make them interact with each other
2.2 The objects that will be used in the game
A Main Menu which will contain these objects:
- A Text for the title of the game
- Two (2) sprites which will serve as Buttons: One to start the game and another to exit
- Two (2) texts which will serve as title for the Buttons
A Scene called GameLevel where the game takes place and will have for content:
- A player object that will serve as a helicopter
- A HUD object
- A cross-shaped sprite to exit the Level
- A sprite for the background
- Sounds
- Text to display the game over message
112
- An object container (std::vector) for Bonuses
- An object container (std::vector) for Obstacles
2.3 The roles of objects
Activity class
- Launch the different scenes
- Transition between Main Menu and Game Level and vice versa.
MainMenu class
- Navigate the menu with the mouse (touch on Android) and keyboard
- Use the validation keys to choose an option
- Exit the menu using a dialog box
GameLevel class
- Start the game
- Restart the level when the player loses
- Quit the level when the user clicks on the cross (sprite)
Class Player will be a Helicopter:
- The UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT keys will be used to move the object
- The key A to accelerate
- The key B for normal speed
- Animated the sprite
Bonus class
- Disappears when the player touches it
- Increase the Score and time of the player and play a sound when it is destroyed
Obstacle class
- Collision with the player (remove health)
HUD class
- Displays the level timer
- Displays the number of Bonuses
- Displays the player's score
- Displays the player's health
3. Integration of game sentences
3.1 Creation of sentences in GameLanguage.h
#include "../../isEngine/system/function/GameKeyName.h"
namespace is
{
/// Access to content that allows internationalization of the game
namespace lang
{
/// Represent the index of each language
enum GameLanguage
{
ENGLISH, ///< English language index
FRANCAIS, ///< French language index
};
// ------------------------ message box answer ------------------------
static std::string pad_answer_ok[] = {"OK", "OK"};
static std::string pad_answer_yes[] = {"YES", "OUI"};
static std::string pad_answer_no[] = {"NO", "NON"};
// ------------------------ intro ------------------------
static std::string pad_game_language[] = {"English", "French"};
113
// ------------------------ menu ------------------------
static std::string pad_main_menu[] = {"Main Menu", "Menu Principal"};
static std::string pad_new_game[] = {"Start Game", "Nouvelle Partie"};
static std::string pad_quit_game[] = {"Quit Game", "Quitter le Jeu"};
static std::string msg_quit_game[] = {"Quit game?", "Quitter le jeu?"};
// ------------------------ level dialog ------------------------
static std::string pad_dialog_skip[] = {"Skip", "Passer"};
#if defined(__ANDROID__)
static std::wstring dialog_player_move[] = {L"Press LEFT, RIGHT, UP or DOWN to move.\n"
"Press A to Accelerate and B to decelerate.",
L"Appuie sur GAUCHE, DROITE, HAUT, BAS pour te déplacer.\n"
"Appuie sur A pour Accélerer et B pour Ralentire."};
#else
static std::wstring dialog_player_move[] = {L"Press " + is::getKeyWName(is::GameConfig::KEY_LEFT) + L", " +
is::getKeyWName(is::GameConfig::KEY_RIGHT) + L", " +
is::getKeyWName(is::GameConfig::KEY_UP) + L" or " +
is::getKeyWName(is::GameConfig::KEY_DOWN) + L" to move.\n"
"Press " + is::getKeyWName(is::GameConfig::KEY_A) + L" to Accelerate and " +
is::getKeyWName(is::GameConfig::KEY_B) + L" to Decelerate.",
L"Appuie sur " + is::getKeyWName(is::GameConfig::KEY_LEFT) + L", " +
is::getKeyWName(is::GameConfig::KEY_RIGHT) + L", " +
is::getKeyWName(is::GameConfig::KEY_UP) + L" ou " +
is::getKeyWName(is::GameConfig::KEY_DOWN) + L" pour te déplacer.\n"
"Appuie sur " + is::getKeyWName(is::GameConfig::KEY_A) + L" pour Accélerer et " +
is::getKeyWName(is::GameConfig::KEY_B) + L" pour Ralentire."};
#endif
// ------------------------ game level ------------------------
static std::string msg_game_over[] = {"Your score : ", "Votre score : "};
static std::string msg_clic_restart[] = {"Click to restart", "Cliquer pour recommencer"};
}
}
Explanation
This file makes it possible to define the sentences to be translated which will be used in the game. A sentence to be
translated is represented by an array of strings (std::string or std::wstring). The first index of the array represents the
first language, the next index the second and so on.
static std::wstring dialog_player_move
Source Code
Sentence that will be used later in the dialog box to show the user how to control the helicopter.
On Android we display how to move the player relative to the keys of the Virtual Game Pad and on PC relative to the
keys of the keyboard (which can change according to the parameters defined in GameConfig.h).
is::getKeyWName(is::GameConfig::KEY_LEFT)
Source Code
Allows to obtain the name of the keyboard key (in the form of a std::wstring) thanks to its associated code.
114
This allows you to know the name of the keyboard key associated with each action.
3.2 Associate of the dialog box with the sentence of the game
The code below is part of the GameDialog class declaration.
//…
enum DialogIndex
{
DIALOG_NONE = -1,
DIALOG_PLAYER_MOVE
};
// …
void linkArrayToEnum()
{
auto setMsg = [this](std::wstring txt)
{
m_strDialog = txt;
};
auto checkMsg =[this, &setMsg](std::wstring txt[])
{
if (m_msgIndex < m_msgIndexMax) setMsg(txt[m_msgIndex + m_scene->getGameSystem().m_gameLanguage]);
};
// each enum with its array of string
switch (m_dialogIndex)
{
case DIALOG_PLAYER_MOVE:
m_msgIndexMax = is::arraySize(is::lang::dialog_player_move);
checkMsg(is::lang::dialog_player_move);
break;
default:
break;
}
}
// …
Explanation
The DialogIndex enum and the void linkArrayToEnum() function are the two elements of the GameDialog class
which allows us to display sentences from GameLanguage.h with the dialog box.
DIALOG_PLAYER_MOVE
Source Code
Represents the sentence dialog_player_move of GameLanguage.h. The elements of the DialogIndex enum are used to
link the sentences of GameLanguage.h and the GameDialog class.
switch (m_dialogIndex)
{
case DIALOG_PLAYER_MOVE:
m_msgIndexMax = is::arraySize(is::lang::dialog_player_move);
checkMsg(is::lang::dialog_player_move);
115
break;
Source Code
These instructions allow you to associate a sentence from GameLanguage.h with the GameDialog class. The
procedure is the same for any other type of sentence but do not forget that for each sentence (string array) you must
define its element in enum DialogIndex.
4. Creation of game classes
4.1 Obstacle class
4.1.1 Header
#include "../../../isEngine/system/entity/MainObject.h"
#include "../../../isEngine/system/entity/parents/ScorePoint.h"
class Obstacle : public is::MainObject, public is::ScorePoint
{
public:
Obstacle(sf::Texture &tex, float x, float y);
void step(float const& DELTA_TIME);
};
Explanation
Obstacle class is a class which inherits from MainObject (offers functions to manage the movement and display of the
object) and ScorePoint a class which allows to assign bonus points to objects.
void step(float const& DELTA_TIME) allows to update instances of Obstacle class.
4.1.2 Implementation
4.1.2.1 Obstacle
Obstacle::Obstacle(sf::Texture &tex, float x, float y):
MainObject(x, y),
ScorePoint(20)
{
// define collision mask
m_w = 32;
m_h = 32;
m_speed = -12.f;
// load texture
is::createSprite(tex, m_sprParent, sf::IntRect(0, 0, 32, 32), sf::Vector2f(m_x, m_y), sf::Vector2f(0.f, 0.f), false, false);
updateCollisionMask();
}
Explanation
Constructor of the class that takes the texture and position of the object in the scene as parameters.
ScorePoint(20) represents the score that is assigned to the object. Inside the block there is the definition of the size of
the collision mask, the speed of the object and the function which makes it possible to create the sprite of the object.
4.1.2.2 step
void Obstacle::step(float const& DELTA_TIME)
{
m_x += ((m_speed * is::VALUE_CONVERSION) * DELTA_TIME);
updateCollisionMask();
updateSprite();
}
116
Explanation
This method allows you to move the object to the left depending on its speed, update the position of the collision mask
and the sprite.
4.2 Bonus class
4.2.1 Header
#include "../../../isEngine/system/entity/MainObject.h"
#include "../../../isEngine/system/entity/parents/Destructible.h"
#include "../../../isEngine/system/entity/parents/ScorePoint.h"
#include "../../../isEngine/system/entity/parents/Step.h"
#include "../../gamesystem_ext/GameSystemExtended.h"
class Bonus : public is::MainObject, public is::Destructible, public is::ScorePoint, public is::Step
{
public:
Bonus(sf::Texture &tex, float x, float y);
void step(float const &DELTA_TIME);
};
Explanation
Class daughter of MainObject, it also inherits from Destructible which offers functions to manage the destruction of
these instances explicitly. ScorePoint to assign a score point to the object which will be counted later. Step allows to
manage the different steps of the object: collision with the player and destruction.
4.2.2 Implementation
4.2.2.1 Bonus
Bonus::Bonus(sf::Texture &tex, float x, float y):
MainObject(x, y),
Destructible(),
ScorePoint(10),
Step(0)
{
m_w = 32;
m_h = 32;
m_speed = -15.f;
is::createSprite(tex, m_sprParent, sf::IntRect(0, 0, 32, 32), sf::Vector2f(m_x, m_y), sf::Vector2f(16.f, 16.f));
}
Explanation
Constructor that takes the texture of the sprite and the position of the object in the scene.
Inside, the size of the collision mask was defined with the speed of the object, followed by the function which creates
the sprite of the object.
4.2.2.2 step
void Bonus::step(float const &DELTA_TIME)
{
m_x += ((m_speed * is::VALUE_CONVERSION) * DELTA_TIME);
if (m_step == 1) m_destroy = true;
updateSprite();
updateCollisionMask();
}
Explanation
117
This method makes it possible to move the object and to start the destruction of the object when its step passes to 1. It
also updates the properties of the sprite and that of the collision mask.
4.3 Player class
4.3.1 Header
#include "../../../isEngine/system/entity/MainObject.h"
#include "../../../isEngine/system/entity/parents/Health.h"
#include "../../../isEngine/system/entity/parents/HurtEffect.h"
#include "../../../isEngine/system/function/GameKeyData.h"
class Player : public is::MainObject, public is::Health, public is::HurtEffect
{
public:
Player(GameKeyData &gameKey);
void loadResources(sf::Texture &tex);
void step(float const &DELTA_TIME);
private:
GameKeyData &m_gameKey;
};
Explanation
MainObjet's daughter class, Health offers methods to manage the player's health; HurtEffect allows to make an
invincibility effect (make the object blink when it is hurted).
void loadResources(sf::Texture &tex)
Source Code
Allocate external resources (used in the scene) to the object.
GameKeyData &m_gameKey;
Source Code
Used to manage game controls.
4.3.2 Implementation
4.3.2.1 Player
Player::Player(GameKeyData &gameKey):
MainObject(),
Health(3),
HurtEffect(m_sprParent),
m_gameKey(gameKey)
{
// define collision mask
m_w = 40;
m_h = 40;
m_isActive = true;
// initialize collision mask
updateCollisionMask();
}
Explanation
118
Constructor takes as a parameter the instance of the object which manages the controls of the game. It also allows to
define the number of health of the player and to choose the sprite which will be used to make the invincibility effect
when the player is hit by an obstacle.
Inside there is the definition of the size of the collision mask. The variable m_isActive = true allows the user to control
the object when it has not lost.
4.3.2.2 loadResources
void Player::loadResources(sf::Texture &tex)
{
is::createSprite(tex, m_sprParent, sf::IntRect(0, 0, 48, 48), sf::Vector2f(m_x, m_y), sf::Vector2f(0.f, 0.f));
}
Explanation
Use the texture loaded in the scene to create the player sprite.
4.3.2.3 step
void Player::step(float const &DELTA_TIME)
{
if (m_isActive)
{
// allow accelerate / decelerate player
if (m_gameKey.m_keyBPressed) m_speed = 0.f;
else if (m_gameKey.m_keyAPressed) m_speed = 200.f;
// move
float const SPEED(2.f);
m_hsp = 0.f;
m_vsp = 0.f;
if (m_gameKey.m_keyRightPressed) m_hsp = SPEED;
else if (m_gameKey.m_keyLeftPressed) m_hsp = -SPEED;
else if (m_gameKey.m_keyDownPressed) m_vsp = SPEED;
else if (m_gameKey.m_keyUpPressed) m_vsp = -SPEED;
// animation
m_frame += (0.33f * is::VALUE_CONVERSION) * DELTA_TIME; // image speed
setFrame(0.f, 3.6f);
// update collision mask (position, size, ...)
updateCollisionMask();
// update object position
m_x += (m_hsp * is::VALUE_CONVERSION) * DELTA_TIME;
m_y += (m_vsp * is::VALUE_CONVERSION) * DELTA_TIME;
}
else m_frame = 0.f;
is::setFrame(m_sprParent, m_frame, 4, 48, 48, 48); // update sprite and animation
updateSprite();
hurtStep(DELTA_TIME);
}
Explanation
Method in which we manage the behavior of the object. Here when the variable m_isActive is true then the user can
make the helicopter speed up when he presses the A key and make it slow down when he presses the B key. He can
also move the object with the four (4) keys directional. The animation of the Helicopter (which will be detailed
below) is also done in this block.
119
Note: when the user accelerates or slows down it also affects the other objects in the scene (Obstacles, Bonuses,
Background).
hurtStep(DELTA_TIME)
Source Code
Allows you to make the invincibility animation (flash the sprite).
Here's how the sprite is animated:
Figure 1
To animate the sprite we use a texture (Figure 1) composed of several sub-images having the same sizes. Each sub-
image represents a value (in red) that the variable m_frame can take. Below the elements which make it possible to
make an animation
is::setFrame(m_sprParent, m_frame, 4, 48, 48, 48)
Source Code
The function to animate the sprite. It takes as a parameter the sprite which will be used, the sub image which will be
displayed, the number of sub images on a line (here which is 4) and the 3 other parameters which are the size of the
sub images (they are similar but have different purposes).
Note: The function automatically cuts the image.
m_frame
Source Code
Allows to define the sprite sub-image which will be displayed.
setFrame(0.f, 3.6f);
Source Code
Allows to define the interval of m_frame, i.e. the sub-images to choose.
4.4 HUD class

Explanation
This method loads the resources that will be used in the menu and positions the objects.
m_gameSysExt.m_gameLanguage = is::lang::GameLanguage::ENGLISH;
Source Code
Allows you to define the default language of the game. If you change the value to is::lang::GameLanguage::FRENCH
the French language will be chosen.
is::lang::pad_new_game[m_gameSysExt.m_gameLanguage]
Source Code
- is::lang::pad_new_game : allows to use the array string found in GameLanguage.h.
- [m_gameSysExt.m_gameLanguage] : allows to choose the sentence that corresponds to the language.

// PAD animation
is::scaleAnimation(DELTA_TIME, m_sprButtonSelectScale, m_sprButtonSelect, is::getSFMLObjXScale(m_sprPad1));
}
}
Explanation
This method is a subfunction of step(). It allows to use the game keys and the mouse (becomes the touch function on
Android) to navigate the menu and choose an option. It also allows to animate the main menu objects when you
perform an action (mouse over, click, press a key).
setOptionIndex(-1, false, 1.4f);
Source Code
Animate text, sprite and play a sound when changing an option.
m_gameSysExt.m_launchOption = is::DisplayOption::GAME_LEVEL
Source Code
Inform the engine that the next scene to launch will be the Level scene.

4.6.2 Implementation
4.6.2.1 GameLevel
GameLevel::GameLevel(sf::RenderWindow &window, sf::View &view, sf::RenderTexture &surface,

{}
Explanation
We define a default time for counters that allow to generate objects in random ways in the level.
4.6.2.2 loadResources

// load level music
m_mscLevel.openFromFile(is::GameConfig::MUSIC_DIR + "world_1_music.ogg");
m_mscLevel.setLoop(true);
m_mscLevel.play();
return true;
}
Explanation
Method to load the resources of the game (music, sounds, sprites, etc.), define the parameters for creating certain
objects and position the objects in the scene.
m_gameTime.setTimeValue(0, 29, 59)
Source Code
Set the chronometer time.
is::createSprite(m_texLevelBg, m_sprLevelBg, sf::IntRect(0, 0, m_texLevelBg.getSize().x * 2.5, 480),
sf::Vector2f(0.f, 0.f), sf::Vector2f(0.f, 0.f), true)
Source Code
Allows to create the background of the level by repeating its size over the length 2.5 times. This allows to scroll the
background infinitely on the x-axis.
m_gameDialog.setDialog(GameDialog::DialogIndex::DIALOG_PLAYER_MOVE)
Source Code
Displays the dialog box with the message that shows how to control the player.
4.6.2.3 updateObjPlayer
void GameLevel::updateObjPlayer()
{
m_player.step(DELTA_TIME);
}
Explanation
Method that updates the player.
4.6.2.4 playerLose
void GameLevel::playerLose()
{
m_mscLevel.stop();
m_gameSysExt.playSound(m_sndLose);
m_txtGameInfo.setString(is::lang::msg_game_over[m_gameSysExt.m_gameLanguage] +
is::numToStr(m_gameSysExt.m_currentScore) + "\n" +
is::lang::msg_clic_restart[m_gameSysExt.m_gameLanguage]);
m_player.setIsActive(false);
}
130
Explanation
This method allows to stop the game when the player is no longer healthy. It stops the game music, defines the game
over text with the player score that will be displayed and deactivates the player (which means that he lost).
4.6.2.5 updateObjObstacleList
void GameLevel::updateObjObstacleList()
{
WITH(m_obstacleList.size())
{
if (is::instanceExist(m_obstacleList[_I]))
{
// apply player acceleration on the object
m_obstacleList[_I]->moveX(-m_player.getSpeed() * DELTA_TIME);
// If the player touches the obstacle, his health is removed. if he is no longer healthy then game over
if (m_player.placeMetting(0, 0, m_obstacleList[_I]))
{
if (m_player.getHealth() > 1)
{
m_gameSysExt.playSound(m_sndHurt);
m_player.setIsHurt(30.f); // make blink
m_player.addHealth(-1);
m_obstacleList[_I].reset();
break;
}
else playerLose();
}
m_obstacleList[_I]->step(DELTA_TIME); // update object
// We destroy the object when it leaves to the left of the view
if (m_obstacleList[_I]->getX() < -32.f)
{
m_gameSysExt.m_currentScore += m_obstacleList[_I]->getScorePoint(); // add score point
m_obstacleList[_I].reset();
}
}
}
}
Explanation
Method that updates the Obstacles. Inside the WITH loop we check if the player is in collision with the object, if yes we
remove the obstacle and we remove a health, but if he no longer has health then the game is over.
if (m_obstacleList[_I]->getX() < -32.f)
Source Code
Lets know if the object is out on the left side of the window. If so we destroy it to free the memory space and add a score
point to the player.
4.6.2.6 updateObjBonusList
void GameLevel::updateObjBonusList()
{
WITH(m_bonusList.size())
{
if (is::instanceExist(m_bonusList[_I]))
{
// apply player acceleration on the object
131
m_bonusList[_I]->moveX(-m_player.getSpeed() * DELTA_TIME);
if (m_player.placeMetting(0, 0, m_bonusList[_I]) && m_bonusList[_I]->getStep() == 0)
{
m_gameSysExt.m_currentBonus++;
m_gameTime.addTimeValue(0, 15, 0); // add 10 second
m_gameSysExt.m_currentScore += m_bonusList[_I]->getScorePoint(); // add score point
m_gameSysExt.playSound(m_sndHaveBonus);
m_bonusList[_I]->addStep();
}
m_bonusList[_I]->step(DELTA_TIME); // update object
// destruction
if (m_bonusList[_I]->isDestroyed() || m_bonusList[_I]->getX() < -32.f) m_bonusList[_I].reset();
}
}
}
Explanation
Method that updates the Bonuses. Inside the WITH loop we check if the player is in collision with the object if yes we
add a score point and we increase the time of the level.
Then we check if the Bonus is out on the left side of the window, if yes we destroy it to free the memory space.
m_bonusList[_I]->getStep() == 0
Source Code
Allows to execute actions in the collision once and to be able to delete the Bonus later.
4.6.2.7 updateBackground
void GameLevel::updateBackground()
{
// Allows you to repeat the background endlessly
if (is::getSFMLObjX(m_sprLevelBg) < -static_cast<float>(m_texLevelBg.getSize().x)) is::setSFMLObjX(m_sprLevelBg,
0.f);
is::moveSFMLObjX(m_sprLevelBg, -(1.f * is::VALUE_CONVERSION + m_player.getSpeed()) * DELTA_TIME);
}
Explanation
This method updates the background by simulating an infinite scroll animation.
4.6.2.8 gamePlay
void GameLevel::gamePlay()
{
// GAME CONTROLLER
if (!m_gameSysExt.isPressed()) m_gameSysExt.m_keyIsPressed = false;
m_gameKey.step(DELTA_TIME);
// LEVEL CHRONOMETER
if (m_gameTime.getTimeValue() != 0) m_gameTime.step(DELTA_TIME, is::VALUE_CONVERSION, is::VALUE_TIME);
else playerLose();
// We create a second counter which creates objects randomly
m_timeCreateOstacle -= is::getMSecond(DELTA_TIME);
if (m_timeCreateOstacle == 0)
{
m_obstacleList.push_back(std::shared_ptr<Obstacle>(new Obstacle(m_texObstacle, m_viewW + 10.f,
m_player.getY())));
132
m_timeCreateOstacle = 59 * is::choose(3, 10, 3, 5);
}
m_timeCreateBonus -= is::getMSecond(DELTA_TIME);
if (m_timeCreateBonus == 0)
{
m_bonusList.push_back(std::shared_ptr<Bonus>(new Bonus(m_texBonus, m_viewW + 10.f, m_player.getY())));
m_timeCreateBonus = 59 * is::choose(3, 10, 20, 25);
}
// OBSTACLE
updateObjObstacleList();
// BONUS
updateObjBonusList();
// PLAYER
updateObjPlayer();
// HUD
m_gameHud.step(DELTA_TIME);
// BACKGROUND
updateBackground();
}
Explanation
Sub-function step(), it manages the level stopwatch, game control, the counters that generate the Bonus and Obstacle
objects and to call the functions that update the game play objects.
4.6.2.9 step

true;
m_gameDialog.setPosition(m_viewX, m_viewY + 32.f);
}
m_gameDialog.step(DELTA_TIME);

}
Explanation
This method manages the event part associated with the scene, the dialog box for the tutorial and the options which
allow to start the level again or leave it for another one.
m_gameSysExt.m_launchOption = is::DisplayOption::MAIN_MENU
m_gameSysExt.m_launchOption = is::DisplayOption::RESTART_LEVEL

Explanation
#include "../scenes/GameMenu/GameMenu.h"
#include "../scenes/GameLevel/GameLevel.h"
Source Code
Allows to include the two scenes in order to use them in the Activity class.
std::shared_ptr<is::GameDisplay> m_gameScene;
Source Code
Represents the instance that will store the scene to be executed. Please note this is a variable that adapts to the
scene!
case is::DisplayOption::MAIN_MENU:
136
m_gameScene = std::shared_ptr<is::GameDisplay>(new GameMenu(controller.getWindow(),
getView(),
*(this->controller->getSurface()),
gameSysExt));
Source Code
Launches the Main Menu scene. If the switch (m_gameScene->getGameSystem().m_launchOption) is equivalent to
case is::DisplayOption::MAIN_MENU.
if (m_gameScene->isRunning()) m_gameScene->step();
Source Code
Launches the step() part (content update) of a scene.
using transition = segue<VerticalSlice, sec<2>>;
using action = transition::to<GameActivity>;
getController().replace<action>(m_gameScene->getGameSystem());
Source Code
These instructions allow to pass from one scene to another by making a transition effect (Swoosh).
Remember that you can determine the scene that will be changed by another one by: switch (m_gameScene-
>getGameSystem().m_launchOption) and the case is::Displayoption:: scene_name:
Click here for more information on using the SWOOSH library functions.
m_gameScene->drawScreen();
Source Code
Launches the draw() (content display) part of a scene.
6. Improvement
There are still a lot of features that we can bring to this mini game, here are some of them:
